March 6Mar 6 I just added hot swap bays to my server with an HBA card and 3 x 4tb IronWolf drives. I added them to a pool and when I go to format them formatting pops up for a second and nothing happens. What should I do now?

So you can expand after creation but not shrink after creation is the idea?
